Sharp Pain In Chin

Ear noise+chin pain:
NajlaM~ the loud noise in the ear is most likely benign audible carotid pulsation because even mild calcification in the carotid will cause this. However, because of the pain beneath the right mandible,please see an MD to examine your submandibular salivary glands for swelling because blockage of duct with a stone (Whartons duct) to this gland could cause this.thanks

Neuralgia:
Sharp, fleeting pains in the head area are characteristic of neuralgia which is an irritability of a superficial nerve in the scalp. This is more of a nuisance rather than anything serious and has nothing to do with brain problems. Neuralgia usually resolves on its own. Sometimes Tylenol or Advil helps. Consult your physician if symptoms persist or worsen.

How often?:
Nerve endings in the scalp be hypersensitive for mechanical reasons. Bands or hats can put pressure onto superficial nerves that will fire out of turn at random times as a result of facial/scalp muscle tone. Bright sunlight wrinkles forehead and may trigger sharp pain atop head. The opthalmic division of trigeminal nerve refers pain to this region. If ocurring, daily see a neurologist.

Left sided headaches:
If the headache is one sided and comes and goes, it is possible it is a variant of a migraine syyndrome. Temporal arteritis can give one sided headaches that are usually throbbing in nature. Other kinds of sharp pain can come from the scalp, if there is something irritating the skin.

Headache.:
This is a headache although to describe it better I would need to know more about the nature of the headache / location / associations, etc. It would be reasonable to try a non steroidal agent such as Ibuprofen or naproxen.

Head pain:
Probably nothing to worry about. If the sharp pain went away and now there is a soreness or tenderness to touch, it sounds like it's getting better. Nerves in the scalp sometimes get irritated for no known reason. If you ever get a sudden, extremely severe headache with any weakness, loss of vision, numbness or vertigo, you should go to the er to be checked out.

Everything is connected:
There are fascial connections between the head all the way down the spine to the sacrum. Then there's further attachments between the sacrum to the legs. So when you're standing straight, you're engaging all of these fascias. When you're sitting, you're relaxing these connections. If its troublesome, see an osteopathic Dr. (DO) to help evaluate and treat it.
